Friday WPRB DJ Pinup: Evie Ward!

Years on air: 1978-1984 (took time off to pursue radio career before graduation.)

Favorite bands: Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Wire, Flipper, Pere Ubu, Joy Division, P.I.L., Throbbing Gristle.

Memorable on-air moment: When the AP wire sounded OMG alert to announce John Lennon’s death …and walking home and hearing “Imagine’ from every dorm window…

Advice for current WPRB DJs: Have fun, use the experience to learn how to speak without ever saying “um” or “er” , and don’t be like me and turn the ‘PRB hobby into a career as a DJ.
